Open-loop vector control and flux vector control: Constant frequency (The carrier frequency up-

The carrier frequency does not normally need to be adjusted, but make adjustments in the following

cases:
If the wiring distance between the Inverter and the motor is long, lower the carrier frequency.

* 1. The setting range for the carrier frequency upper limit is as follows for the control methods:
S V/f control (with or without PG): 0.4 to 15.0
S Vector control (open-loop or flux): 2.0 to 15.0
* 2. The setting range and the factory setting vary according to the Inverter capacity. The table
shows a value of 200 V class, 0.4 kW. (See page 8 - 47.)
In the vector control modes, the carrier frequency is determined by the carrier frequency upper limit
D
(constant C6-01). In the V/f control modes (both with and without PG), the carrier frequency can be
changed in response to the output frequency by setting the carrier frequency lower limit (constant
C6-02) and the carrier frequency proportional gain (constant C6-03).

Setting the Carrier Frequency
To make the carrier frequency constant, either set the same value for constants C6-01 and C6-02 or
D
set the carrier frequency proportional gain (constant C6-03) to "0" (i.e., fix at upper limit value). The
following settings will generate a constant setting fault (OPE11):
Carrier frequency upper limit (C6-01) > 5.0 kHz and carrier frequency lower limit (C6-02) ≤ 5.0 kHz
•
Carrier frequency proportional gain (C6-03) > 6 and (C6-01) < C6-02)
•
If the lower limit is set higher than the upper limit, the lower limit will be disregarded and carrier frequency will
D
be fixed at the upper limit.

The coefficient "K" varies depending
on the carrier frequency upper limit, as
described below:
D C6-01 ≥ 10.0kHz : K = 3
D 10.0kHz > C6-01 ≥ 5.0kHz : K = 2
D 5.0kHz > C6-01 : K = 1
